Herencia Clothing Unboxing

 As part of my continued personal goal to support minority owned (especially small) businesses, I decided to give Herencia Clothing a try! I learned about them while watching a clothing haul by a Youtuber I follow. When I heard they were based in N.C. (my home state) I was even more excited to support! They carry men and women’s clothing and accessories, many of which represent an aspect of Mexican/Hispanic culture. Check out the unboxing of my purchases from Herencia Clothing, a Mexican-American, female owned, small business!

** Please excuse my half in the frame face through most of the video. I had originally planned to just do a voiceover of the unboxing so my focus was mainly on the product and not so much myself or my face.**

Fall Fingers!!

One of my favorite things about fall is the beautiful colors you can find in nature. Who doesn’t love the golden yellow, orange and red shades of the leaves as they change colors? The season change also brings about a change of color in our wardrobes. Anyone who knows me, knows that I love colorful things, especially when it comes to my makeup and cosmetic items. Some of my favorite fall color schemes revolve around chocolate brown and turquoise along with a nice burnt orange. OPI nail polish comes through with their Scotland collection which features some beautiful fall hues such as deep shimmery red and a bold orange. Not a fan of bold and bright? They also have some nice pinky nudes and grays. Even better, you can purchase colors from this collection on Ulta.com for 6.50 each! If you know about OPI Polish, you know what a great deal this is since OPI Infinite shine polish can run around 13.50 per bottle. For a sneak peak at some of the colors from the collection, check out my YouTube video below!

Bamfam Bamboo Bath Caddy

 Self-care has always been important to me, even more so during these crazy times. I’ve been eyeing a bamboo bath caddy for quite some time and was finally able to snag a nice one at a great discounted price on Amazon. I was able to relax in my tub while music flowed from my iPad. The caddy was also good for holding my book and could also accommodate a glass of wine. The caddy would also make a great gift!

Tasty Tea drops

I love flavored teas in both the hot and cold variety. It’s an added bonus when they can also have potential heath benefits like matcha green tea. With the weather finally cooling off, I love being able to start my morning or cozy up on my couch with a nice cup of tea. These tea drops from Great Mornings coffee & Tea make having your tea a quick and easy process! They are single serve so all you have to do is drop the tea drop in your cup of hot water or pour the water over the tea drop and give it a few minutes to dissolve. My current favs are the Matcha Green Tea & Sweet Peppermint.  No tea bag, less waste and delicious taste! Take a peek at my YouTube review below for more info on these Tasty tea drops! If you like what you see, head on over to the Great Mornings Coffee & Tea website to place an order. Shipping is quick and you’ll definitely be satisfied with the quality.

Handbag Organizers/Dust Protectors by COOFIT

Like many people that have been home due to the pandemic, cleaning and organizing the house has become one of my new pastimes. One of the main places on my list to organize was my closet. This included sorting clothes to donate or Poshmark and also organizing what was left so that I could have a better visual of what I have. I’m fortunate to have a decent size walk in closet with a nice shelving arrangement (I live in an apt). In my sorting and selecting, I came across a few Coach bags that I had held on to because I like them and do plan to switch back to from time to time. I wanted a way to store them that would protect them yet also allow me easy access to them. Of course Amazon had a solution to my problem and I came across these cute and affordable handbag storage bags from COOFIT.  Click the video below to check out these storage bags and how I used them in my organization process.

Making an impression when shipping or selling

 If you run a small business, sell clothes on Poshmark, or even if you just gift people with homemade crafting goodies from time to time, you probably use some form of shipping bags or packaging. One way to add a little flair to your packages is to use decorative shipping bags like the ones I featured in my YouTube video from Pack It Chic. This brand comes in a variety of size and design choices so no matter if you want a little hint of flashy or like to go all out, they have a pattern for you! Another option, especially for those who may do pop up shops or other vendor type events is the clear packaging bags from Spartan Industries. These offer an option for protection from damage during transit or even as customers are viewing your merchandise.

Fenty Beauty + Fenty Skin haul

 

I think it’s safe to say, my favorite makeup brand is currently Fenty beauty. They just offer such a variety of items and the quality is great! The fall line of items has recently released at Sephora and on Fentybeauty.com. I snagged a few pieces from that collection along with with some of the new Fenty Skin products. If you haven’t heard, Rihanna created a skincare line called Fenty Skin that can be used to cleanse and moisturize your face. The products in the Fenty Skin line include a total cleanser which can be used to cleanse as well as remove makeup, a toner, and a moisturizer with SPF 30 sunscreen. The key thing to note is that the Fenty Skin line is eco-friendly including the moisturizer which does not contain ingredients that can be harmful to the coral reef. For more of my thoughts on the new line as well as a glimpse at the new items, check out my YouTube review. Be sure to subscribe while you’re there!
